"Haaland has never reached a UCL final or been top scorer at a WC"
He's young enough and at a team that could very easily get him much further than he's got so far!..
And just because he's not been in the UCL or scored at a WC, what has that got to do with how good he is?..
Oh, and he won the U-20 World Cup in 2019 where he scored a record 9 goals!..
Like I say, time is on his side!..
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But you can't see into the future. Yes he has the potential, otherwise City wouldn't have bought him, but only time will tell. Additionally, how many games will he miss through injury? The other factor to consider is how many goals would Kane have scored had he played most of his career at a dominant Man City?

"Kane has loads of records:
Most Premier league away goals
Most goals for a single club
Spurs top Prem scorer
Spurs top European goal scorer
Most Prem goals in a calendar year
Most Prem league player of the month awards
Most competitive goals for England
Most goals in a calendar year for England
Most goals in major tournaments for England
In addition, he is sat second or third in quite a few other categories currently and bar injury or a freak and rapid downturn in form he is likely to break them."
Striketeam!.
I have nothing against Kane, I think he is a great player, I just find it odd when something like this comes up against a young player that has also done a lot in such a short time, and he has enough time to do a hell off a lot more!..
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah I think anyone with eyes can see that Haaland is the real deal and will be a huge success in the Prem. I have said before that if you could create a pure 9 in a science lab then he is pretty much what would come out.
I think the only thing that will hold him back is injuries - he just looks like he will be prone to me.
Sgt, it could be argued how many would he have scored if he'd stayed at Dortmund or Leipzig, and you're right, nobody can see into the future!..
But I said he's young enough and at a club that could take him a hell off a long way!..

Again why are you comapring a 22 year old who has just arrived in England to a near 30 year old who has been around for many seasons?
Surely the comparisons should be
Haaland v Isak
Haaland v Nunez
Haaland v Daka
You know players around his own actual age
Stupid article as was the previous one on this same subject
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This it's such a silly comparison at such a stupid time. The excuses for Kane like ' he's done it in the PL for years...etc' is BS coz Haaland has literally been here for 7 games, there's nothing he can do about that! the age difference is also there, and the teams that they play for has to be taken into account too....all after Haaland has had a few years, not games, here
Striketeam, hopefully that's not a patient no 9!..

Germany, I don't doubt his potential, but there are too many variables in my opinion. If he'd stayed at Dortmund he would no doubt have scored boatloads, but how many would a young Harry Kane have scored in Germany? City will also dominate in a way that Spurs haven't and will not.

Depends how many pens the German team he was playing for got
A young Harry Kane was certainly banging them in for Leyton Oreint, Millwall, Norwich and Leicester
Actually not a bad article. I do say there are five strikers in the world who are a level above the rest: Haaland, Kane, Mbappe, Lewa and Benzema - and there isn’t really much between all five.
Haaland is obviously exceptional but he has joined the most creative team in PL history and is putting away chances for fun as he is such an exceptional poacher.
As Culer also comments, it’ll be interesting to see where his career goes and how he develops. Typically strikers with his profile peak early, and I think he his reached his (very high) peak and it’ll be interesting to see how long he maintains it. Historically it hasn’t been too long for players but sports science has gone a long way.
As a goalscorer Haaland is ahead, as an overall player then yeah I would say Kane is ahead for now but then he has been flattering to deceive recently with his hold up play, and he is in his peak while Haaland isn't or shouldn't be at his age. Haaland's age is what makes him all the more outstanding.
Also I don't want to keep hearing about how he is at the best team in the PL. It didn't make any difference to his goalscoring when he was at Salzburg, or Dortmund, or Norway...all teams no better than Spurs have been while Kane has been with them, and he was still scoring for fun against all types of teams in all competitions.
Culer seems to think he is a fortune teller and expects Haaland to pick up an injury or not be able to sustain his run.
Edin which other strikers with his profile have peaked early?
I think this lad is a freak of nature and could be anything. I have not seen anyone like him. He is a mix of Drogba due to his physique and Shearer with his finishing. He is ruthless. This is off the back of only having single figures in touches in the whole game.

Sorry but it is inevitable Haaland will both get injured and go on a drought. Haaland is as injury prone as someone like Thiago for example.

Many said Kane was injury prone when he was linked to City. I don't think he's been injured since.
People are getting their nickers in a twist about him being injury prone.
Also adding to what Luka says, I would say most importantly he has the hunger or drive of Ronaldo, so he is ticking every box. They guy is a freak of nature.
"inevitable" Like when Utd were supposed to finish above last season 🤦🏻♂️
Now that he's been put on the injury prone pile, we all know he'll now go the whole season uninjured!..
Maybe a goal or 3 against the teams that are brining him down coming!..
Just for comparison with players who got 30 goals or more in a PL season after 7 games:
Shearer = 7 goals (31 in total)
Henry = 6 (30)
Kane = 6 (30)
Phillips = 5 (30)
Salah = 4 (32)
Suarez = 3 (31)
Ronaldo = 0 (31)
So Haaland has 11 after 7 games. Goodbye record.
I think his physique coupled with the pace he is capable of will mean his joints will be under tremendous pressure. I will be amazed if he goes the next 5 years without a serious knee or ankle injury that keeps him out a significant amount of time.
He is built like a NFL running back and those guys are constantly injured
Haaland has the potential to be as dominant as Lomu was in rugby. Obviously speed, strength and size have a greater effect in rugby but I mean in terms of the gulf between him and those trying to stop him.
Nobody, not even Mystic Meg here can predict what the future holds injury wise for any player, so it is fruitless to predict whether Kane, Haaland or anybody else will continue to score.

Pep will rotate him as he does everyone, Alvarez will get his chance then and it will slow Haaland's goals a bit but yes he should hit 40 the way he is going.
Haaland strains his joints beyond belief just when he runs ffs. He'll get a load of injuries, knees especially, and he will have to adapt his game. To be honest I suspect he will have to lose some muscle too like Vidic did when he did it with us in 2011. Can't wait to be proven right again when Haaland gets a nasty injury, not to sound mean but I will be quite smug.

The fact Ronaldo had no goals by this point and still got 1 away from the record shows the sort of leeway Haaland has. A few hat-tricks can go a long way and there is a lot of dog crap in the league he could get more of them against.
You have Rugby players that play just as long as Football players!..
Tennis player's, Tour de france riders that also race for a season, Athlete's that do more running than football player's do!..
There are a number of sports that do as much as if not more then football, but there are a lot of people in those sports that laugh at how easy football player's fall over or get injured, he more then likely will have injuries, everybody gets them, but properly controlled there is no reason for him to get more than anyone else!..
